Excerpt from the Journal of Olds – Day 64 – Train to Arashiyama

It’s been a while since I jotted anything down here and that’s for one simple reason – Japan is awesome. I can’t believe how good the place is. The people are polite, kind, warm and just a joy to inhabit the same space as. Everything is flawless – the transport system is flawless, everyone dresses flawlessly and looks flawless [to the point that it’s almost intimidating] and everywhere you go is flawless. I simply don’t have the time to go into it but this is comfortably the most amazing place I’ve had the pleasure of visiting so far.
